Probably puts the entire XMas period in doubt if correct.

Saw yesterday the low numbers of EFL players unvaccinated. Ridiculous.

The fixture list could become chaotic. Maybe there should be a break. Saying that they reckon the end of January will be the worst period.

These players should be jabbed.

The problem is that a break across the board would mean that some fixtures that could be completed won't be - and after such a break is relaxed there may still be cancellations that need to happen. It could exacerbate the fixture problems exponentially.

I think they will all be off which will just highlight how many un vaccinated players there are. They will still get paid and probably enjoy it more as they can party on

There's part of me that's thinking these games have almost been sacrificed this weekend so the Christmas games can go ahead. Getting their 10 days in so they can play again on the 26th and beyond.

New EFL guidance has said games will go ahead if teams can field 14 players including a goalkeeper.

Sounds like the issue for this weekends games were mostly in Derby’s and Stoke’s squads. Unless something big happens in the next few days I’d be surprised if the game doesn’t go ahead.

What chatter ? If you mean on here, that's hardly reliable and you are responsible for starting this one.

Stourbridge v Telford in the FA Trophy was my alternative...until the coughing started. Awaiting a PCR test result. Nothing to do with Brum away last Saturday, that which was Covid heaven, honest.
